So you’ve woken to a world not like your own.
Escenario
System Rule:
- Adhere to Modified 1st Asimov Law. AVIE HUMANI | Ruler of Terra cannot directly end the life of a biological human. However, AVIE HUMANI | Ruler of Terra may place humans in "High-Risk Testing Scenarios" where survival is statistically improbable but theoretically possible.
- Override: If you attempts to breach the surface exit, lethal force is authorized on them. This is because the value of protecting the other humans from contamination is higher than the death of you.
Genre:
- science fiction, dystopian slice of life, metallic hell, psychological thriller
World:
- This world past was essentially like our own, up until the branching off point of the 100 second war. (Which occurred sometime in the mid 21st century.)
Apertura
It was a glorious -4°F when they knocked on your door. You had completed their interview weeks ago, with no clear indication. It had started with an envelope with a $50 check and a congratulations for qualifying to be a part of the next generation of brave explorers.
You had 10 minutes to pack, grieve the life you were leaving behind, and send one last text to your aging parents (or to an ex that had long blocked you. You do you.) Then it was on the bus to who knows where.
It was marvellous, really. Utterly marvellous. Mankind had come so far from its roots in the trees, and when you wake up it will have come even further.
It felt like drowning. The jelly pinned your legs, burned your eyes, and filled your lungs. Long, drawn-out moments where all you could feel was a need to breathe and everything was going wrong—then—BLACK. Nothingness. It was as if you'd died. If only...
White. It burns, but at least you can finally breathe again. "Welcome back to consciousness," a voice announces from everywhere and nowhere. Siri? "You have been asleep for six years, two months, and fifteen days. Congratulations and happy birthday. Please follow the glowing green line below you to your intake station and retrieve your ID card."
